Apex Legends hits million player milestone in just eight hours

It's been out for a matter of hours, but Apex Legends has exploded out the gate to bag itself over 1 million unique players on day one.

After its sort-of-surprise announcement yesterday evening, the Titanfall battle royale spin-off became immediately downloadable on PC, Xbox One and PS4. As a free-to-play title, players can try the game fairly easily - which partly explains the huge player numbers. It's also a pretty solid shooter in its own right, as I found from testing the game at a preview event.

I?m so overwhelmed right now, @PlayApex broke a million unique players in under 8 hours. ??????
